COMBINED RADIATOR AND STQVE-SHELF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 307,782, dated November 11, 1884. I Application filed January 3, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. LIOHTENBERGER, of Savanna, in the county of Carroll and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Radiator and Stove-Shelf and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a central vertical section. 2 is a transverse section of the same.

This invention relates to a combined radiator and shelf designed to take the place of the first section of a stove-pipe which connects with the stove, the object being to carry off the products of combustion without heating the radiator, or to divert the said products of combustion from their direct upward passage, so that the radiator shall be heated and the heat given out from the same and not only disseminated into the room but also di rected against and around such vessels or other articles as may be placed upon the shelf.

A indicates a sheet-metal pipe-section designed for the direct upward passage of the products of combustion from a stove or range. This pipe is jacketed by an outer sheet-metal pipe-section, B, formed so as to leave. an annular passage, G, between the two pipes for the ascent of the products of combustion when the latter are diverted from their passage through the inner pipe, A. This inner pipe is somewhat shorter than its surrounding jacket, and the two are connected together at their ends by means of the short metal connections D.

The pipe or jacket B is provided at its upper end with a cap, E, having a central opening, F, which registers with the inner pipe, and is of the same, or substantially the same, diameter as the passage through said inner pipe. This opening in the cap is surrounded with an annular flange, 6, adapted to fit either in or on the next upper section of the stovepipe. The lower end of the outer pipe is seated upon a sheet-metal plate, G, which is provided with a central opening, H, registering with the lower end of the inner pipe, this said opening being surrounded with a flange, g, by means of which it can be connected with Fig.

the stove. The metal connections at the upper ends of the pipes connect the inner pipe with the cap E, while at the lower end of the inner pipe they are connected with said pipe and with the plate G. This plate is held firmly against the lower end of the outer pipe or jacket, and also connected with the cap which is on the upper end of said jacket by means of tie-rods H, the tightening-nuts I upon said rods being preferably fitted upon their upper ends, which extend up through the cap E, whereby said nuts can be screwed down upon the cap, or be unscrewed from the rods so as to admit of the jacket being de tached.

K indicates a damper arranged within the innerpipe, and provided with a spindle which extends through the outer pipe, and is provided with a suitable handle, it. When the damper is open, the products of combustion will mainly pass directly up through the inner pipe into the next upper section of stove-pipe connected with the flanged cap on the jacket, and hence the jacket will be but very slightly heated. WVhen, however, it is desired to use this first section in the stove-pipe as a heatradiator, the damper can be closed and the products of combustion thereby diverted from their former passage through'the inner pipe and caused to pass up through the annular space between the inner pipe and its surrounding jacket. In this way the jacket will be heated and the heat radiated therefrom, thereby not only serving to aid in warming the room, but also heating such vessels or receptacles as may be placed on the plate Ga This plate, which constitutes a shelf for bold ing pans or vessels or other articles to be heated, is perforated so that the hot air from the stove will impinge upon the bottom of a pan orother receptacle placed upon the shelf, and also pass up through the shelf, so as to circulate round the article placed thereon.

I am aware that it is not new, broadly considered, to combine a jacket with a stove-pipe section, nor is it new to combine a shelf with a stove-pipe, and therefore I disclaim such devices.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination of the jacket,the flanged cap at its upper end, a perforated flanged shelf at its lower end, an internal pipe, and a damper in this-pipe, all constructed and adapted'to operate substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.

2. lhe internal pipe, A, secured by connections D to a cap and to a shelf, in combination with the jacket, the damper, and the bolts H, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own; I afiix my signature in presence of i0 two Witnesses.

WM. LICHTENBERGER.
